President Trump today signed three really good executive orders, the common denominator of which is an aversion to decision-making that is race-based rather than merit-based. The first targets the “disparate impact” approach to civil-rights enforcement; the second promises the reinstatement of “common sense school discipline policies”; and the third is aimed at college and university accreditation that has “improperly focused on compelling adoption of discriminatory ideology, rather than on student outcomes.” It’s nice to have the federal government on the right side rather than the wrong side on all this, which it will be now and wasn’t before, as the orders spell out carefully and well.
